St. Augustine -the beach a welcome distraction

6/20/20 – Three and a half months of lockdown with only a few short jaunts outside of Peachtree City, cancellation of our Prague trip (postponement actually), and a general stir-craziness have meant we needed to get in some true vacation time. Solution: six hour drive, in the convertible, to a beachside rental and a week-long dose of sun and surf.

Rolled in Saturday a bit late for the beach but still did a night stroll – very dark, but the sound of the waves very relaxing.

6/21 Sunday saw us up a little early for a short beach visit – only an hour – as we had plans to meet some people in town a which ultimately fell through, but had us in town anyway so we spent a few hours wandering Old Town and having an afternoon meal at the classic Columbia Restaurant – best Cuban food in Florida.

Later in the evening we sat outside at The Reef for some appetizers and cocktails while watching the surf.
